The Crazy Haters are At It...Again

Click me for the full news article!

SERIOUSLY. You have GOT to be kidding me. "Brainwash our kids!" About WHAT exactly? About how it's so imperative to STAY IN SCHOOL and get an EDUCATION. Wow, smite me now for suggesting such a satanic thought.

How exactly are the students being "ostracized from teachers?" And how is this "glorifying the President?" Are. You. SERIOUS.

Why is everyone jumping the I-Hate-Obama band-wagon? Now, for all you Republicans, I understand that you did not want him to be President, and I respect that. However, you cannot possibly be arguing this ludicrous notion that he is trying to glorify himself and brainwash students into his plans. Recently, everyone has been trying to find many stupid reasons for hating on Obama. And he hasn't even completed a YEAR, yet. This ain't no Metropolis where Superman saves the day after ten pages in the comic book.

The YOUTH has been such a huge backer to the Obama campaign that this is a GREAT time and opportunity for someone whom the YOUTH has been behind to advocate for education.

Most of you come from good schools with over 90% graduation rates. Well, wake up. There are a sheer NUMBER of schools that don't have such great rates and education. So yeah, this is a pretty good way to start getting kids to think seriously about this (at least the ones who are actually considering dropping out).

And by the way - as for the "guided discussions," those are an EXCELLENT idea. Instead of just hearing the speech and moving on, students and kids will actually get a chance to discuss what they thought and really THINK about what is being said. As poster Willbw put it, "I'm not sure why everyone is so scared that we'll all be brainwashed by the President."

It seems as though we have reached the time when the adolescents' realize bullshit faster than adults.

Harry Potter v. Twilight.

Harry v. Twilight? Please...

Really...I gotta thank Tim Yoon for this. Now, I understand that random people just added reasons, so there will be repeats and what not, but I just HAD to make a reply to each one (at least for the first 40ish). Also keep in mind that I have read all the books for BOTH series (including the half-book from Edward's POV).

Read my reply side-by-side with the article, and tell me what you think! Or, don't. Whatever. ^_^ (I had to throw in an Asian smiley face there).

And here...we...go!

1. I read twilight once cuz i couldn't bear to read it again. i lost count after 12 times of rereading Harry Potter. And no one is good looking in Twilight. BAM

2. I don't think LOVE STORY can be used as a good reason for why one is better. However, all Twilight is is a love story. HP has got EVERYTHING. BAM.

3. WIZARDS DON'T NEED TO BE DEAD TO HAVE POWERS. BAM. Also, I believe in HP, vampires are ranked below wizards. In fact during Slughorn's Christmas party, it was revealed that part-humans like vampires only have few rights. At least HP has wizards AND vamps. Oh, and BAM.

4. You cannot possibly compare Alice to the Weasley twins. BAM.

5. Again, with the hot guys. No, they are not attractive. They are all skinny sticks. One of the greatest love stories ever? Don't you mean Shakespeare's Romeo+Juliet, which is partially what Twilight was based off of? BAM.

6. I'm sorry, HP is not real, but a story about VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES is real? And kids who need to grow? Please read books 2-4 of Twilight and do an analysis of Bella's character. BAM

7. Twilight is boring and HP is exciting? I think the person who posted it missed the sarcasm. BAM

8. LOL go back to school and learn how to read. BAM

9. There are zero sex scenes. Please see reply to number 8. BAM

10. Common sense to like Twilight? I feel like I need to tell everyone to refer to reply number 8...BAM

11. Again, you are missing the sarcasm. Can the person who posted this refer to number 8? BAM

12. Vampires is closer to real life? I'm sorry, please pick up a scientific/technological magazine. BAM

13. Excuse me, no one can relate to Bella. Everyone relates to Harry....that's why HP was a bigger hit than Twilight. BAM

14. If your reasoning is that Twilight is an easier read and HP is too hard, that means that your opinion is irrelevant anyway. BAM

15. This person has some *serious* issues with werewolves...And no, Books 3, 6, and 7 had werewolves, so you're actually wrong. What a surprise. BAM

16. "fantasy that is real" LOL really? Refer to 8. BAM

17. Refer to 14 and 8. BAM

18. That "pain" you describe was bitching and moaning. Bella was PMS-ing for 300 pages. No thanks. HP has more depth, themes, motifs, character development....and BAM

19. You cannot use that as the sole reason for why one book is better than another. BAM

20. Bella bitches and moans so much; I hope to NEVER be able to relate to that. Harry Potter suffers loss, being the underdog, confusion - omg basically teenage angst (see Potter Puppet Pals). BAM

21. Seeing the future is better than having magical powers? You do realize that in Harry Potter, there is both...Again, refer to number 8. And 14. BAM

22. Bella is more realistic because she is stupid? Well actually, I'm going to agree with that for the majority of the human race....But not why Twilight is better. BAM

23. Your post makes no sense to either of the books....BAM

24. Refer to 18. BAM

25. Why would you choose baseball out of all the sports in the world....this is about 98% irrelevant to the question. BAM

26. The Cullens would die for each other? Please read book 7 of HP. BAM

27. Twilight's plot is straightforward. Damn, that is definitely a requirement when I want a good, intellectual read. BAM

28. Right, then she got saved by her vampire boyfriend...cuz that's so realistic....BAM

29. The question is regarding the books, not the characters. BAM

30. I would like to think the friendships Harry made are a very strong bond since everyone is, you know, willing to die for him and all. BAM

31. Percy. BAM

32. Weasley parents. Sirius. Lupin. (insert all other parent figures for Harry). BAM

33. Refer to 30 BAM

34. I don't think any of the characters want to stay as vampires purely for that reason. BAM

35. Having to figure shit out is why they're interesting in the first place. BAM

36. No they don't. BAM

37. Avada Kedavra. Oblitero. Bye bye Edwad. BAM

38. Er...no they weren't....vampires weren't even popular for a long period of time. BAM

39. OK, you also have issues. Please come back to reality. Neither story is real. BAM

40. No, not really. They never really fought. BAM

41. This is opinion, not fact. If you are referring to the characters, please. Robert Pattinson only looks hot to you because he plays a hot character. He is in no way good looking. Every guy who gets famous is instantly "hot" regardless of attractiveness. BAM

Rise of Noush Moush

So...I've never really blogged. Ever. And I never had any plans to blog. Ever. But, hey, Nat and Samia are doing it, so why the hell not. My writing's turned to crap anway, so why not practice? Even if no one reads it....darn.

If you didn't catch the incredible mockery in my title, it's a reference to the AMAZING blockbuster hit of GI Joe. That's right...another Hasbro-toy-made-movie. And even though Channing Tatum isn't dancing all sexy and stripping down like he used to, it's a pretty decent movie. If you put it on mute.

Damn, I'm feeling random. Nat's blog template is freakin' awesome, so now I am motivated to think of something cool, too. Too bad I am not feeling original or creative today. I'm actually kinda proud of Nousha's Wizard Wheezes though considering a) it's POTTER, hello and b) dude, the Weasley twins. Come ON, that shit's hilarious. Hopefully I can bring back some of my own wit and charm that I've lost.
